DC Comics has released another clutch of books collecting stories from its superhero and horror lines, and master storyteller Scott Snyder has a gem in both Column A and Column B.

American Vampire Volume Five ($29.99) is my favorite, which should come as no…

See?  I didn’t forget.  It’s just that when it comes to Marvel Comics and trivia, things are a little tougher for me. 

Part of it is, no doubt, because I didn’t get into Marvel until late in the game, around 1965 or so.  I picked up all of those niggling bits of DC trivia  pretty much by osmosis, because I was there from the beginning.  But with Marvel, I had…

Yes, it’s true what you’ve read all over the Internet: Robin is dead.  But there are a lot of reasons not to get too upset about it, and at least one good reason to be upbeat.

For one thing, this isn’t THE Robin with which most people are familiar. That would be…

This statement from Kim Thompson was provided by Eric Reynolds at Fantagraphics:

I'm sure that by now a number of people in the comics field who deal with me on a regular or semi-regular basis have noticed that I've been responding more spottily. This is because of ongoing health issues for the past month, which earlier this week resolved themselves in a diagnosis of lung cancer.

This is still very early in the diagnosis, so I have no…

Hey, fellow Legionnaires! This e-mail arrived from Katharine Carroll, who does U.S. publicity for English publisher Titan Books. I've worked with Katharine for years, so I trust the source. Which is dire news, indeed:

Roman Dirge, creator and illustrator of the Lenore comic book series, and his girlfriend Amber were injured in a hit-and-run accident in Hollywood, CA, on February 26, 2013. One of Dirge's legs was severely damaged, but he is said to be in good…
